  • Own production health: Champion automated testing, clean documentation, and reliable deployment practices so we ship with confidence.

Who you are:

You’re an experienced engineer who enjoys untangling complex problems and balances engineering excellence with pragmatic delivery:

  • Backend depth: 8+ years of hands-on software engineering experience, with deep expertise in C# and modern .NET.
  • Distributed systems: Practical experience designing clean REST APIs, message queues, event-driven workflows, and asynchronous communication patterns.
  • Data fluency: Strong background with relational databases (e.g., SQL Server, PostgreSQL), query optimization, and ORMs like EF Core or Dapper.
  • Cloud & DevOps: Experience deploying and managing containerized services (Docker/Kubernetes) in cloud environments, ideally Microsoft Azure.
  • Observability & troubleshooting: Skilled at diagnosing and resolving complex production issues using logs, metrics, and distributed tracing.
  • Pragmatic tooling: Comfortable leveraging AI coding assistants (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Cursor) to move faster, while applying sharp judgment to ensure security and code quality.
  • Clear communication: Fluent in English, with the ability to explain technical trade-offs to both engineering peers and non-technical partners.
  • Bonus points: Prior experience with FinTech, banking, payments, or ledger/accounting systems is a strong plus.

 

Please note: you need to have EU citizenship or a valid work permit for Sweden.
